Yukon Territory 38.2m Terrain Mesh

These products offer an additional degree of detail and accuracy in North America at 38m between elevation points. United States coverage was compiled from the 30m National Elevation Dataset (NED) and the Alaska 60m NED.

Description

Anomalies in the source data were addressed where found. Canada coverage was compiled from the 22m Canadian Digital Elevation Dataset (CDED). Mexico coverage was compiled from the 30, INEGI source data. The US 76m coverage, as well as the FSGenesis Global coverages are recommended for best results to mitigate possible ripping and tearing of the more distant terrain due to FS's hard-coded visibility range limitations.

What is Terrain Mesh?

The world is not flat…it comprises mountains, valleys, rolling plains, etc. I.E. topographical features. These bumps, dips, and flat areas all need to be translated into a surface understood by your flight simulator. Terrain Mesh is the name given to the Digital Elevation Model, (DEM), that represents these topographical features. This is the surface of the earth over which the user flies in the simulator (or crashes into!) For more than a decade, FSGenesis has been the leader in highly realistic, high resolution terrain mesh for flight simulator. So to make your simulator world and scenery as realistic as possible, you need terrain mesh!
